Long Live The King!
A battle of intelligence between the king and the nation's smartest.
The Premise
The Kingdom Of Alush. Not long ago, it was a tiny nation and none of the surrounding kingdoms believed it would be a threat. Though it claimed neutrality, it was often raided by both bandits and soldiers its neighbours alike as it possessed a central location on the continent of Vars.
In the year 430, the king passed away and many believed this would call for the end of the Alush. However, as the crown prince took the helm of the nation, everything changed. In a short span of 5 years, Alush conquered all of its enemies. The new king was charismatic and brilliant but most of all, he used a plethora of unorthodox strategies to crush his foes; ending a war that lasted decades in but 5 years.
Now is the year 438, the Kingdom of Alush is flourishing and the peace it enjoyed seemed like it would last forever. This was definitely a cause for celebration but the king was bored. With the passing of war he lost the chance to take on challenging opponents and was reduced to humouring nobles.
However, the king came with an idea. He assembled his advisers and told them to issue a royal decree. Anyone and everyone was allowed to accept the challenges the King came up with. If they won, endless riches and power awaited them. If they lost? Only death.
You are one of these challengers. You could be an original scholar from Alush or you could be a prisoner of war from a conquered kingdom. Regardless, you are an individual of massive intellect or at least, you deem yourself as one. You believe you stand a chance against the man who turned the weakest kingdom into the strongest. Your reason for taking this up could be for riches, power or even simply for the challenge itself.
Can you triumph?
